WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:05.169 --> 00:00:08.050 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation 00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:12.740 It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari 00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:15.980 Surah An-Nahl 00:00:18.570 --> 00:00:22.670 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:23.660 --> 00:00:29.620 And it will be said to those who fear, “What has your Lord sent down?” 00:00:29.940 --> 00:00:31.940 They said good 00:00:32.380 --> 00:00:36.979 For those who do good in this world is good 00:00:37.380 --> 00:00:40.619 And the home of the Hereafter is better 00:00:41.060 --> 00:00:44.439 And blessed be the abode of the righteous 00:00:45.820 --> 00:00:47.820 The other team was told 00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:50.200 What has your Lord sent down? 00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:52.640 They said: Send down goodness 00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:58.479 For those who believe in God in this world and His Messenger is an honor from God 00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:02.640 The home of the Hereafter is better for them than the home of this world 00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:06.560 And how blessed is the abode of those who fear God in this world 00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:11.799 So fear His punishment by performing His obligations and avoid His sins 00:01:13.540 --> 00:01:25.010 They will enter the Gardens of Eden, beneath which rivers will flow 00:01:25.450 --> 00:01:30.569 They have whatever they want in it 00:01:31.170 --> 00:01:34.969 Thus God rewards the righteous 00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:42.239 Orchards of shrines inhabited by rivers flowing beneath their trees 00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:50.400 Those who do good in this world will have whatever their souls desire in the Gardens of Eden 00:01:51.189 --> 00:01:57.950 God also rewards those who did good in this world with what was described to you, people 00:01:58.510 --> 00:02:04.670 Thus God rewards those who fear Him by performing His obligations and who abstain from His disobedience 00:02:06.260 --> 00:02:13.900 Those whom the angels take to death are good, they say 00:02:14.340 --> 00:02:23.300 They say: Peace be upon you. Enter Paradise for what you did 00:02:25.069 --> 00:02:31.069 Thus God rewards the righteous whose souls are taken by the angels of God 00:02:31.669 --> 00:02:36.349 They are good because God blesses them with clean faith 00:02:37.030 --> 00:02:42.509 She says to them, “Peace be upon you, go to heaven.” 00:02:43.270 --> 00:02:46.870 Good news from God delivered to them by angels 00:02:48.699 --> 00:02:58.180 Do they wait for the angels to come to them or for the command of your Lord to come? 00:02:58.819 --> 00:03:11.620 So did those before them, and God did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves 00:03:13.580 --> 00:03:19.979 Are these polytheists waiting for the angels to come to them and take their souls? 00:03:20.539 --> 00:03:24.259 Or the command of your Lord will come to gather them to the place of resurrection 00:03:25.060 --> 00:03:32.180 As these people do, they wait for God’s angels to take their souls or carry out God’s command 00:03:32.780 --> 00:03:35.460 Their ancestors were disbelievers in God 00:03:36.139 --> 00:03:38.979 And God did not wrong them by causing His wrath 00:03:39.500 --> 00:03:42.139 But they were wronging themselves 00:03:42.580 --> 00:03:48.780 By their disobedience to their Lord and their disbelief in Him until they deserved His punishment, so He hastened them 00:03:50.229 --> 00:03:59.710 Then the evils of what they did befall them, and what they used to mock overtakes them 00:04:01.180 --> 00:04:09.860 Those of the past nations who did what these polytheists of Quraysh did were subject to the punishments for their sins 00:04:10.580 --> 00:04:14.780 And the punishment of God befell them, which they used to mock 00:04:16.629 --> 00:04:28.949 Those who associate polytheists say, “If God had willed, neither we nor our fathers would have worshiped anything other than Him.” 00:04:29.470 --> 00:04:38.029 Neither we nor our parents have been deprived of anything besides Him 00:04:38.509 --> 00:04:49.990 So did those before them. Is there anything other than the duty of the messengers except to deliver the clear message? 00:04:51.779 --> 00:05:00.100 Those who associate God with God said, “We do not worship these idols except because God has approved of our worshiping them.” 00:05:00.699 --> 00:05:04.459 We do not forbid what we have forbidden from the lakes and deserts 00:05:04.980 --> 00:05:10.459 However, God wanted us and our fathers to prohibit it, and He was pleased with it 00:05:11.100 --> 00:05:18.180 So did those before them from the polytheist nations, whose Sunnah these people followed 00:05:18.620 --> 00:05:24.060 They said the same thing as they said, and they continued their path in denying the Messengers of God 00:05:24.620 --> 00:05:27.819 And follow the actions of their misguided fathers 00:05:28.379 --> 00:05:34.019 Do our messengers have any duty other than to convey to you the message we have sent to you? 00:05:34.620 --> 00:05:40.740 A communication that explains its meaning to the person who communicates it and is understood by the person to whom it is sent 00:05:42.410 --> 00:05:53.930 And We have sent to every nation a Messenger to worship God and shun the tyrant 00:05:54.410 --> 00:06:01.610 Among them are those whom God has guided, and among them are those who have been led astray 00:06:02.050 --> 00:06:10.250 So travel through the land and see what was the end of the deniers 00:06:11.689 --> 00:06:17.009 We have sent, O people, to every nation that preceded you a messenger 00:06:17.529 --> 00:06:22.410 That they worship God alone, without partners, and devote obedience to Him alone 00:06:23.009 --> 00:06:26.850 Stay away from Satan and beware of him tempting you 00:06:27.449 --> 00:06:31.250 Among those to whom We sent Our Messenger are those who guide God 00:06:31.810 --> 00:06:35.170 So grant him success in believing in Him and acting in obedience to Him 00:06:35.810 --> 00:06:38.370 Others were misled 00:06:38.930 --> 00:06:41.569 So they disbelieved in God and denied His Messenger 00:06:42.250 --> 00:06:48.850 If you people do not believe our Messenger in what he tells you about these nations 00:06:49.370 --> 00:06:52.610 So they walked in the land they used to live 00:06:53.089 --> 00:06:55.769 So look at the traces of God in them 00:06:56.250 --> 00:07:00.449 How did their denial of the Messenger of God follow them? 00:07:01.980 --> 00:07:10.220 If you strive to guide them, then God does not guide those who go astray 00:07:10.740 --> 00:07:15.500 And they have no helpers 00:07:17.269 --> 00:07:22.550 O Muhammad, if you are keen to guide these polytheists to faith in God 00:07:23.110 --> 00:07:25.550 God does not guide those whom He leads astray 00:07:26.149 --> 00:07:28.350 Don't stress yourself about it 00:07:28.910 --> 00:07:34.189 And they have no helper to help them from God if He wants to punish them 00:07:55.149 --> 00:07:59.949 These polytheists from Quraish swore by God as hard as they could 00:08:00.389 --> 00:08:02.430 God does not resurrect someone who dies 00:08:03.269 --> 00:08:06.509 And they lied about the oaths they swore 00:08:07.110 --> 00:08:09.550 Rather, God will resurrect him after his death 00:08:10.269 --> 00:08:12.269 He promised to send them 00:08:12.949 --> 00:08:14.069 He promised his servants 00:08:14.509 --> 00:08:16.709 God does not break his promise 00:08:17.579 --> 00:08:21.819 But most of the Quraysh do not know God’s promise to His servants 00:08:22.420 --> 00:08:27.180 He will raise them alive on the Day of Resurrection after they die 00:08:31.170 --> 00:08:33.970 Rather, God will resurrect those who die 00:08:34.370 --> 00:08:36.129 A true promise 00:08:36.769 --> 00:08:42.460 To show those who claim that God does not resurrect those who die 00:08:42.940 --> 00:08:45.340 And for others in which they differ 00:08:45.820 --> 00:08:48.860 From God reviving His creation after their annihilation 00:08:49.500 --> 00:08:52.220 Let those who deny the truth of this know 00:08:52.700 --> 00:08:55.340 That they would resurrect God after his death 00:08:55.820 --> 00:08:57.820 And they will resurrect God after his death 00:08:58.299 --> 00:09:00.299 And they will resurrect God after his death 00:09:00.299 --> 00:09:02.299 And let them know that this is true 00:09:02.940 --> 00:09:04.940 They were lying in what they said 00:09:05.500 --> 00:09:07.500 God does not resurrect someone who dies 00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:18.799 Our saying to something, if we want it, is that we say to it, “Be,” and it is 00:09:20.220 --> 00:09:23.100 If we want to resurrect someone who dies 00:09:23.740 --> 00:09:25.740 Don't be tired of us 00:09:26.220 --> 00:09:29.860 We only say to him, “Be,” and he is 00:09:30.179 --> 00:09:34.980 And those who emigrated for the sake of God after they had been wronged 00:09:35.379 --> 00:09:39.220 We will surely give them good news in this world 00:09:39.860 --> 00:09:42.740 And the reward of the Hereafter is greater 00:09:43.299 --> 00:09:46.500 If only they knew 00:09:47.059 --> 00:09:53.700 Those who are patient and put their trust in their Lord 00:09:55.549 --> 00:09:58.509 And those who left their people and their homes 00:09:58.909 --> 00:10:01.710 Enmity toward God for their disbelief 00:10:02.190 --> 00:10:04.190 To others besides them 00:10:04.509 --> 00:10:09.230 After what happened to them in their souls, which is hateful to God 00:10:09.789 --> 00:10:13.870 Let us settle them in this world in a good abode that pleases them 00:10:14.429 --> 00:10:18.590 And God’s reward to them for their migration therein is greater 00:10:19.070 --> 00:10:21.710 Because his reward is Paradise 00:10:22.350 --> 00:10:25.149 These are the ones we have described 00:10:25.470 --> 00:10:29.549 They are the ones who are patient for the sake of God over what befalls them in this world 00:10:29.950 --> 00:10:32.750 In God they trust in their affairs 00:10:34.529 --> 00:10:41.490 We did not send before you except men to whom We revealed 00:10:41.889 --> 00:10:48.929 So ask the people of remembrance if you do not know 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:54.559 We did not send before you, O Muhammad, to any nation 00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:59.679 To pray for our unification and fulfillment of our commands and prohibitions 00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:03.679 Except for men from the children of Adam to whom We reveal 00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:09.759 And if you do not know that those whom We were sending to those before you were from the nations 00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:14.879 Men from the sons of Adam, like Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:17.440 And you said they are angels 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.960 So ask the people of remembrance who have read the books before them 00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:25.200 Such as the Torah and the Gospel 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:30.000 And other books of God that He sent down to His servants 00:11:31.570 --> 00:11:33.570 With clear evidence and truth 00:11:34.450 --> 00:11:47.169 And We sent down to you the Remembrance so that you may make clear to the people what was sent down to them 00:11:47.490 --> 00:11:50.929 Perhaps they will think 00:11:52.580 --> 00:11:56.500 We did not send before you except men to whom We revealed 00:11:57.139 --> 00:12:00.179 We sent them with evidence, arguments and books 00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:04.080 And We sent down to you, O Muhammad, this Qur’an 00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:07.120 A reminder to people and a preaching to them 00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:10.639 So that they may know what was revealed to them of that 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:15.759 And let them remember therein and consider what We have revealed to you 00:12:17.549 --> 00:12:29.309 Do those who plot evil deeds feel safe that God will cause the earth to swallow them up? 00:12:29.309 --> 00:12:34.590 Or the torment comes to them from where they do not feel 00:12:35.070 --> 00:12:41.870 Or he takes them to task, but they are not miraculous 00:12:42.350 --> 00:12:51.149 Or he takes them out of fear, for your Lord is Most Compassionate, Most Merciful 00:12:52.690 --> 00:12:58.450 Are those who oppressed the believers among the companions of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, safe? 00:12:58.929 --> 00:13:01.490 They wanted to seduce them from their religion 00:13:01.970 --> 00:13:05.809 May God cause the earth to swallow them because of their disbelief and polytheism 00:13:06.370 --> 00:13:10.210 Or God's punishment comes to them from a place where they do not feel it 00:13:10.690 --> 00:13:12.769 He does not know where it comes from 00:13:13.409 --> 00:13:16.210 Or destroy them in their behavior in the country 00:13:16.529 --> 00:13:18.610 And their hesitation in their travels 00:13:19.169 --> 00:13:23.809 They will not be able to do that to God if He wants to take them as well 00:13:24.450 --> 00:13:26.370 Or destroy them with fear 00:13:26.929 --> 00:13:30.289 This is due to a decrease in their limbs and sides 00:13:30.769 --> 00:13:34.610 One thing after another until they are all destroyed 00:13:35.330 --> 00:13:41.490 Indeed, if your Lord does not punish those who plot evil deeds with a hastening punishment for them 00:13:42.049 --> 00:13:45.970 And death took them, and some of them diminished in each other's influence 00:13:46.529 --> 00:13:49.330 He is kind to his creation and merciful to them 00:13:50.049 --> 00:13:54.289 And because of His compassion and mercy towards them, the earth did not cause them to collapse 00:13:54.769 --> 00:13:56.769 Their torment was not hastened 00:13:57.250 --> 00:14:00.610 But it frightens them and diminishes them with death 00:14:02.340 --> 00:14:16.580 Have they not seen what God has created, whose shadows emanate from the right and the left? 00:14:16.580 --> 00:14:18.740 Prostration to God 00:14:19.059 --> 00:14:23.139 They prostrated to God while they were bowing down 00:14:24.620 --> 00:14:28.059 Have they not seen those who plotted evil deeds? 00:14:28.539 --> 00:14:31.340 To what God created of a standing body 00:14:31.659 --> 00:14:34.299 Tree, mountain, etc 00:14:34.860 --> 00:14:37.899 His shadow returns from place to place 00:14:38.379 --> 00:14:40.620 It is the beginning of the day anyway 00:14:41.019 --> 00:14:42.379 Then it shrinks 00:14:42.779 --> 00:14:46.379 Then he returns to another state at the end of the day 00:14:47.019 --> 00:14:50.539 It is the shadows of these things that prostrate 00:14:51.019 --> 00:14:55.820 Its prostration is its tilt and rotation from side to side 00:14:56.220 --> 00:14:58.220 And hand to hand 00:14:58.860 --> 00:15:01.100 They prostrate while they are humble 00:15:02.690 --> 00:15:11.730 To God prostrates whatever is in the heavens and whatever living creature is on the earth 00:15:12.210 --> 00:15:23.299 Of animals and angels, and they are not arrogant 00:15:24.580 --> 00:15:32.019 To God submits and submits to His command whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth, every animal that moves upon it 00:15:32.419 --> 00:15:34.899 And the angels in the heavens 00:15:35.220 --> 00:15:39.059 They are not too arrogant to submit to Him in obedience 00:15:40.259 --> 00:15:49.139 They fear their Lord above them and do what they are commanded 00:15:50.429 --> 00:15:54.110 He fears those angels in the heavens 00:15:54.350 --> 00:15:56.429 And there is no living creature on earth 00:15:56.909 --> 00:16:01.549 They fear their Lord above them, lest He punish them if they disobey His command 00:16:01.549 --> 00:16:06.429 They do what God commands them to do and fulfill His rights
